Holland has established a great cordon along the German frontier to prevent the in flux of large numbers of Russian bolshevik agents from Germany. Heavy ghards arc maintained, so that person wishing to cross the boundary in either direction must pass through frontier posts and over recognized highways. Those who attempt; surreptitiously to cross run the rrsk of being shot. These precautions have failed, however, to check the movement of soviet agents Men whom the police would like to interview have tyeew seen in this city and Amsterdam, but when the police set their dragnet for their quarry, the men wanted have utterly disappeared.

The system followed resembles the. underground raiiroaa Dy wnicr. fugitive slaves moved through north ern states to Canada in the days be fore the American civil war. The "underground railroad" is utilized by soviet agents to bring into Poland bolshevik "missionaries" who are to make attempts to reach America. There appears to be a constant current of these men cross ing and re-crossing the frontier. Every means of getting them into Holland is used. ' Many Deserters Found. During recent montljs many Poles have gone to America, and some of them have been deserters from Gen eral Pilsudski's armies. It is said regularly organized bureaus were established to help these men evade military duty and go forward into Holland, and that among them were many bolshevik agents. . Reports have been received here that many bolshevik sympathizers who we.re last year deported as un desirables from America are to i be returned to that- country. Police officials assert a special bureau has been created here to take qare of this class of "emigrant" and carry out carefully laid plans for getting, the agitators bick into the United States.

Concrete evi dence of the downward tendency of wearing apparel was presented today when the United Clothiers opened their 13th annual convention at the Lexington hotel. Men's clothing for immediate de livery was offered at prices 10 to SO per cent below present . whole sate prices. Goods for spring and summer de livery were, shown at prices 10 to 33 1-3 per cent under those a year ago. Men's shirts, underwear,, sox and other articles show similar de clines. Six hundred retail clothing dealers from 17 middlewestern states are at tending the convention and every delegate is agreed that prices are slipping, W. L. Mohr, treasurer and general manager of the association, said. "The public is not buying, man ufacturers and dealers are over stocked and the prices must come down," said Mr. Mohr. "We have passed the peak in high prices of wearing apparel. I do not believe we will get back to the figure of last winter in many years. Usually our November convention offers goods fo spring and summer delivery. This year we arc not only showing stuff for future delivery, but we have immense t--ks oi apparel-for jmmediatedelivery. The Victory df Bodd Value Dodge Brothers' great works are operating at full capacity every day. i It is good to be able to say to you Nthat Dodge Brothers irnplicit faith in the good will that grows out of good value is being vindi cated by everything that is going on in their plants today. You know well that Dodge Brothers dedicated themselves, from the very first, to the pro duction of a car which should rise superior to all external con ditions, and be, in effect, and in fact, a law unto itself. i They were supremely satisfied, to begin with, that good motor cars supplied a great ancha per manent human need. They were sure that no matter what happened, there would al ways be an inexhaustible market for the particular kfhd of a car they hoped and planned to build. They were convinced that they could produce a car so sound in value, so saving, and so satis factory p the individual owner, that no outside influence could shake its hold upon the public.

Turkey's 146-year-old man, Zora Mehmed, reputed to be the oldest man in the world, is ill with indigestion. This is the first time Zora has ever been ill. He complains that it is because of a set of false teeth. I Zora has always beent hamal that is, a carrier of heavy weights, ranging from 200 to 1,000 pounds. When he was 45 years of age that Us. during the Napoleonic wars he r -. .i nr. L -t r An ! - ineu to nit, un a uci, juu pounus with his teeth and ruined them. He went along until about 1850 without any teeth and then he obtained a set, which has won out. About 20 vears ago he got another set. iHe claims these teeth have given him indiges tion. which has finally landed him in the hospital. "When I get a new set of teeth I shall be all right again for another half a century," he said. Until his present illness Zora was employed as a hamal at the Turkish naval base. He was born at Bitlis, in Turkish Armenia, in the year 1774. just before the American rev olution, but does not remember that event. Zora has a son aged 90 and a young daughter aged 50. His heart and eyes are still good and he looks like a manTSf .70. He offers his passport as proof of, his age. as well as the birth records in the mosque at Bitlis.

Dodge Brothers are more strong ly andsoundly entrenched in the good will of the public at this mo ment than1 ever in their history. Every good .result which John and Horace Dodge counted upon when they committed them selves to tne principles of build ing good will by building good value, has come to pass. , Their certainty that people will always discover a meritorious product, set it apart, prefer it and reward it, is continuing to come true with each and every suc ceeding business day. Dodge Brothers Motor Car is in demand because Dodge Brothers Motor Car meets a definite eco nomic need and satisfies a human craving for honest and substeiial value.
